Title: Welding plastic tubes together - using electrically heated extruded welding sleeve
Inventor: HELMUT LANDGRAF
IPC: B29C63/00
Filed: 1971-12-28
Abstract: A welding sleeve with an internal heating coil is formed by extruding a strip of thermoplastic material and winding it on an electrical heating coil held in position on a rotating mandrel, cutting off the strip when a sufficient wall thickness is obtained and then removing the sleeve from the mandrel. The extruded strip is pref. drawn longitudinally by using a higher mandrel speed than the extrusion speed, and the thickness may be varied by imparting a varying axial motion to the mandrel. Rollers may be used to press in the strip. The coil is pref. covered with two layers of plastic. The inner is a heavily stabilised plastic with little sensitivity to marking e.g. an ethylene copolymer, and the outer is a high m.wt. plastic of e.g. H D. polyethylene of m.wt. >90,000.

Title: Semiconductor Memory device and related method for controlling reading and writing
Inventor: KIM KUN-TAE
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2000-04-06
Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided that is capable of increasing a data processing speed and the efficiency of a data input and output pin. A method is also provided for controlling the read and write of such a device. A data first-in first-out (FIFO) circuit temporarily stores write data when a read command is received during a write operation and outputs the stored write data to the memory cell array after a read operation is completed. An address FIFO circuit temporarily stores addresses corresponding to the write data when the read command is received during the write operation and outputs the stored addresses to the memory cell array after the read operation is completed. A control signal generator generates a plurality of control signals for controlling the data FIFO circuit and the address FIFO circuit in response to a write command and the read command. When the addresses received during the read operation coincide with the addresses stored in the address FIFO circuit, data is not output from the memory cell array, but instead, the write data stored in the data FIFO circuit is output. The number of write data items stored in the data FIFO circuit and the number of addresses stored in the address FIFO circuit vary according to the column address strobe (CAS) latency of the semiconductor memory device.

Title: Compensating for local oscillator and sampling frequency offsets in an OFDM receiver
Inventor: DUNCAN STEVEN HOWARD
IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2000-04-17
Abstract: A partial Fourier Transform is performed, using Goertzel's algorithm, to calculate two frequency bins. A phase variation is calculated for each bin, the phase variation preferably representing the phase difference between the bin calculated by a Fourier Transform performed on samples (Ng) in a guard interval (G) and the bin calculated by a Fourier Transform performed on matching samples (Nu) within the useful part of the symbol (U). The local oscillator frequency offset is compensated by summing the phase variations, and the sampling frequency offset is compensated by taking the difference between the phase variations. This Fourier Transform is separate from that used for demodulation, and is a "partial" or reduced transform which calculates only a subset of frequency bins.

Title: Spar construction method
Inventor: POLLACK JACK
IPC: B63B9/06
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of constructing SPAR buoys comprising an elongate floating body (1) and a deck structure (2). The elongate body (1) is transported to the mooring site in its horizontal position. During erecting of the floating body (1) by ballasting it with water and alignment with the deck structure (2), the deck structure (2) remains attached to its buoyancy member (7). Hereby the use of large derricks can be avoided which provides a substantial cost reduction. After erecting the floating body, the body (1) may be ballasted to pass below the floating deck structure (2). Alternatively, the deck structure (2) may be deballasted or pulling cables (14) may be used to pull the coupling member (4) of the floating body (1) into contact with the coupling member (12) of the deck construction. Alternatively, the floating body (1) is at its upper ends connected to the deck structure (2) via a pivoting connection (22) such that during coupling the floating body may be hinged against the deck structure (2).

Title: Apparatus for dispensing tickets
Inventor: MELLET KENNETH J
IPC: G07B5/02
Filed: 1999-03-19
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for dispensing a selectable number of tickets (12) from a plurality or stock of serially joined tickets includes a platform (14) along which the tickets (12) travel in a forward direction (F) to a discharge opening in the apparatus (10). The tickets (12) are fed through interchangeable ticket guide (76) which leads to opposing rollers (36, 38). A controller controls a motor (28) to impart drive to the rollers (36, 38) for advancing tickets in the forward direction (F). Rotatable cutting disc (20) is mounted on a carriage (54) that can be slid laterally across the platform (14) along rails (50, 52) for cutting the joined tickets (12) along a cut line (22). Sensors (66, 68) are supported in the platform (14) on opposite sides of the cut line (22) for detecting the presence of markers (70) on adjacent joined tickets (12). Upon simultaneous detection of the markers (70) by the sensors (66, 68) a signal is sent by the sensors to the controller to provide a count of the number of tickets passing the cut line (22). When this number coincides with the selected number of tickets to be dispensed, the controller operates motor (42) to cause the carriage (54) to slide along the rails (50, 52) so that cutting disc (20) cuts the selected number of tickets from the serially joined tickets.

In an alternative embodiment, LED's (19a-b, fig.5) may be used to change the backlighting of the display unit 12 depending upon whether an incoming telephone number has been previously stored in the memory. Specific ring tones may be assigned to each group. Stored numbers may be searched according to group when making outgoing calls. Also mentioned is a system in which the grouped list of telephone numbers is used to direct incoming calls to wireless sub-units 32 associated with the incoming calls' groups and a method for the sub-units to specify such association.

IPC: F16F9/53
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: An aircraft landing gear includes a sealed cylinder (1) divided by a cylinder head (7) to define an upper chamber (4) and a lower chamber (3). The lower chamber (4) is further divided by a piston (8) having a piston rod (5) passing in a sealed manner through the lower cylinder end (31,32). The cylinder head (7) includes one or more orifices (15), the opening of containing an electromagnetic coil (54) configured to control the viscosity of the magneto-rheological oil passing therethrough. The electrical current through the electromagnetic coil (54) is continually controlled by a microcomputer with attached sensors for piston position and pressure between the piston (8) and the cylinder head (7), such that the pressure between the piston and the cylinder head decelerates the aircraft evenly though the desired piston stroke.

Title: Extinguishing oil and gas well blow-out fires
Inventor: MELVIN ALEC
IPC: E21B35/00
Filed: 2002-06-27
Abstract: A device for generating supersonic fluid jet flows is used to extinguish oil and gas well blow-out fires by injecting high momentum fluid flow into the stabilizing region at the base of the flare, thus causing the turbulent jet flame which comprises the flare to detach from pipebreak regions and extinguish. The fluid, such as air, water, carbon dioxide or nitrogen, is pumped to the device via an inlet tube J and leaves through a discharge tube D. The device operates by opening a valve A to allow high pressure helium in a chamber B, C to interface with the fluid stream in order to generate a shock wave in the discharge tube. Behind the shock wave, the flow is supersonic as the jet of fluid exits from the tube and is directed into the base of the flare. The valve A lifts in response to operation of a gas release device, such as a solenoid-driven exhaust valve S. Repetitive generation of the supersonic jet minimizes the hazard of re-ignition of the flare by hot pipework or local fires.
